I'm here again

It's almost four years since the last time I put anything on this audience-less corner of the internet. It's 5.28 am in the morning, I didn't sleep all night because my sleep cycle has somehow inverted at the beginning of the week. The sky has turned blue and I can spy from the windows in my room a cargo ship docked across the channel at one of the ports near Shinagawa.

I have been hit with a pang, I'm not sure if it is the correct way of using this word, of nostalgia recently. I went through my old diaries the other day and felt a kind of unfamiliarity with my old self. I discovered a certain hint of excitement in my old writings that I am sure I have incredible difficulties in reproducing now. So there were some pages in the diary describing my activity as an organizer during some sort of a student body election in ITB back then. I can easily decipher from the writing how I felt for a certain candidate back then or my feelings about each of the event within the election process. These kinds of writings, where I can easily tell whether I had a positive or a negative experience, have somehow disappeared from recent diaries.

Does this simply indicate me growing old? Or maybe I've had my share of talking about my feelings with people, that I lost the need to write them in minute details? 

Anyhow, stumbling upon this blog again could be a sign for me to rediscover that old feeling of excitement.

おそらく。
